Picco Bar & Pizzeria in Darlington

Fantastic little place the food was fantastic and so where the staff, we weren't rushed in anyway at all and that's a massive bonus for any restaurant 👍

We had to overin Darlington and needed to find somewhere to eat. We came across this little gem. The food is excellent and amazing value for money. The service was also impeccable. Highly recommended!

Great food, great atmosphere, lovely staff and owners. Definitely be back.

I love this place, the food is fantastic especially the pizza's, the closest I have found to a proper Italian pizza. Spoke to the owner very up beat and charming man and he is very passionate about his work. The price is also very reasonable, the service is good and quick. The atmosphere is very delightful, good music, and light, and its warm which is perfect for those cold nights. The only thing lacking here is the dessert menu which doesn't seem to have much of one.

Always excellent pizzas served with a smile.

Great pizza, authentic and well priced

Food! Service! Everything was great! Can't say much more then that. Everything yoj need for an evening meal!!! Glad i found this place 😆🙌

Ordered for 545 !!!! One hour late

We ordered our Pizza for 6:50 and it turned up at 7:15

Stone cold when received went in the bin

Never physically been but ordered their meals four times now. They are the closest in the area to my Venice experience, and believe me I tried many! Lovely lovely meals esp pizzas, taste homemade and comforting. Wish they’d open earlier but I think I understand why

Good food at good price. Enjoyed it 👍

Quick, efficient and polite service - thank you!

Great rustic pizza. Really enjoyed it.

Delivery guy was very polite and delivered food perfectly. Thank you!

Love the food here, really tasty

Best pizza in Darlington, never fails

Great little Italian Restaurant in the town centre. Great food, lovely staff and reasonable prices. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Always a great meal here. Food is fantastic and great value. The team are really friendly and helpful.

Great food as always. fast delivery and courier was polite.

Three of us. 5:30 booking. Lovely food (salads, pizzas, cannelloni, arancini), nice bottle of Malbec. Friendly staff and a warm welcome from the host. Very good!

Food was really nice but delivery driver was rude and left the totally wrong order

Absolutely fantastic pizzas and service. The owner/chef is in full view cooking the pizzas and you can see he is passionate about food and the quality. Definitely recommend it.

Excellent authentic Italian pizza, very friendly when collecting!

Dined in here twice recently and absolutely love it. A small but beautiful atmospheric venue. Ordered a calzone and a pizza on both occasions. The Calzone texture was amazing and the mixtures of fillings beautiful. The wed night deal of 2 meals, 2 puddings and a bottle for less thank £40 is truly great value. My old workplace used to swear by here as their regular and I can see why. The chef always looks busy and it truly is an art form watching him stretch out the dough! Love it and will be back!

The guy behind the bar I’m assuming the owner thinks he is the best pizza maker this side of Naples ! He is by a long way not! Crust was rock hard had no flavour. Scrimped on toppings , I had the Parma ham large pizza and it had 1.5 slices of Parma ham on it . Tomato base sauce tasted like it was days old! Asked to move tables as some of the party did not turn up and he was stroppy! Probably why we got poor pizzas. Really bad experience if you want authentic pizzas that actually has flavour go to stable hearth just a stones throw away! There was 12 of us in the party and the total bill was £141 and the restaurant took it apon themselves to add £45 service charge ! That’s over 30% I’m sure these guys went to clown school and not culinary school! 3 of the 12 mains came out after everyone had pretty much finished their meals! Stay well clear of this place! It’s a joke!

Pizza topping was in one corner of box. Obviously handled very poorly. Not good enough for £20. Tasted nice as usual but just not good quality once everything is a mess

Picco don't go, we won't order again. Pizza was unrecognisable/burnt while also cold. They definitely couldn't spare any toppings. Half a mushroom, even less pepper & 2 slices of parma ham were fired by catapult. 2 bites, then in the bin!

Authentic Italian stone fired pizza, no dominoes rubbish here

Had a great take out pizza from Picco. Nice thin base . Best delivery pizza so far .

A delightful little place with friendly staff and good food at a very reasonable price. It’s become a favourite to visit frequently.

Cold food for the 1st time from this place

Food was lovely and arrived on time, pizza not at all greasy, will be using again

Really lovely pizza, and very cosy atmosphere. Service was also excellent. Nothing to fault - really good!

Very good, n I've even been back again

Food was absolutely delicious and worth the wait

Wonderful little restaurant, fantastic pizzas lovely people and reasonably priced too. Cannot fault it.

Fantastic authentic food, great service Cannot recommend it any higher !

Food was really nice, however service was not good. I had booked this for an anniversary meal, requested a bottle of sparkling rose wine on the table, but when we entered I gave details and was just told to choose any table for 2. There were only 2 other tables occupied at the time, an elderly gentleman came in while we were there and a couple of take out customers. We had to ask for a dessert menu as we seemed to be ignored more and more, the delivery guys from whatever app they use got more conversation from the staff than we did. Very disappointed in the service despite the food being great.

Beautiful food great little restaurant will definitely be back

Absolutely fantastic place, Amazing starters. pizza's, Pasta's. Excellent service. Staff are so friendly. Xx

Love this place, looking forward to going back next Friday with friends for a meal! 🍕

So rude with delivery drivers and make late

Fabulous pizza. Terrific starters. Peroni on draught. So good we went back the next night. Just a stunning hand made pizza with great service. Very well priced too.

Good quality and great service as always

Several visits and never a problem lovely simple menu great food cooked fresh and great service charming intimate place

Pizza in Darlington. Well done. Just dined with 3 colleagues. Nice pizza and attentive service.

Prompt and friendly service and the food was really tasty and very reasonably priced.

Really enjoyed my meal here last night! Excellent

Never had bad food from here, pizzas are one of best in town, chips are very good as well. 10/10

Piccos is a firm family favourite. Love everything about it. During the Covid era myself and my daughter went to pick up some pizzas we had ordered. We sat at the bar and had a drink while we waited and the chef/owner was so lovely and chatty, telling us the story of why margarita pizzas have their name. When ordered for delivery they are always hot and fresh, but eating in the restaurant is even better. Always a lovely vibe - small and friendly restaurant with friendly staff. Extra little touches like a lemon san pellegrino “shot” for the kids alongside the limoncello ones for the adults. Today I had pasta (lasagne) instead of pizza and it was really delicious.

Lovely pizza as usual, went extra mile by adding mushrooms for me 👏 maybe add the mushrooms to extras list

Excellent food and service. Genuine Italian pizza. Beaut! Highly recommended!

Good all round place. Lovely pizza. On Wednesday you can have two pizzas and a bottle of wine for £25.

Pizza and chips with Parmesan and rosemary were delicious and still very hot when delivered

Still great after all this time

Rude staff and owner will never return .

Best pizza in the town hands down

Authentic Italian pizza, looks like pizza, tastes like pizza and much better quality ingredients than any other pizza I have had in Darlington.

The owner had very bad attitude towards customers, not a good place and never come back.

I went to celebrate my wife birthday and i have one year old son apparently waiters said my son making too much noise despite kid being kid had to leave after staff and owner being soo disrespectful to us .

Great food and delivered on time.

I am very happy this restaurant very nice food thanks

the driver late with the order and my food is cold because he hadn't hot bag.

Fab food great staff. Our go to place to eat in darlington.

the food was still hot, it was late, but worth waiting for

Cosy pizzeria with friendly service and good pizzas. Only 11 tables. Had four pizzas a large wine, a pint of beer and side for £58 plus service.

First time ordering from here and I must say the pizza was piping hot and really tasty. The chips where thick and chunky and also piping hot. The only let down was the onion rings which were not cooked long enough. I will defo be ordering from here again. Brilliant service and excellent food

Absolutely fantastic!! Food is amazing, cooked fresh infront of you. Staff are friendly and attentive. Will highly recommend, can't wait to go back soon

Visited solo, while on a business trip. Very warm and welcoming restaurant with delicious.authentic pizza, great service and really well priced. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal!

Lovely pizza fast very friendly delivery

Delicious pizza, I recommend it to everyone

Very Polite Driver , Friendliest i’ve had , food fantastic as always

The best place for food and service! Had the best night with the girls. Everyone was amazing and very friendly! Definitely will be back

Went to Picco to have a catch up with my girls and I can’t express enough how amazing our experience at Picco was! From the vibes, the food, drinks to the staff. Food was gorgeous & both drinks and food were super affordable!! Can’t thank Alex and Shahla enough for their service. All the staff were fabulous😘

The food was spectacular, tasted like the pizza I had in Italy! Service was amazing aswell, the girls really took care of us for the evening. Overall had a lovely warm ambience and I would go back!

Lovely food, great atmosphere and fabulous staff will definitely be visiting again.

Pizza dough very delicious. Although, I think instead of goat cheese, they used Camembert? so pizza didn’t taste as good as it was last time.

The BEST Pizza in Darlington. We've been going for years and always receive a warm welcome from Alex the owner. Special mention to Grace from his Front of House Team, who is very professional, attentive and friendly - excellent customer service!

The best calzone I have ever had in my life... No exaggeration

Beautiful pizza Napoletana and the restaurant staff are nice and kind.

Lovely pizza, great delivery courier, very friendly and polite

Pizza was missing half of the toppings!

The food was really authentic and delicious. Very friendly staff and really great value for money. I would highly recommend.

Amazing food speedy delivery 😋

the best italian pizza in Darlington

Really lovely meal. Pizza was so good, the kids loved the chicken nuggets, and the Parmesan and Rosemary chips were amazing!

Five-star food. Best pizza in Darlington. Even better when you eat in the restaurant and it's fresh from the oven and served with a smile.

Pizzas and chips are outstanding and the customer service is fabulous, a real gem. I wouldn't usually comment on chips but they are known to be the best in town, they really are too.

Best pizza in Darlington good service and good vibe. I don't have to say anymore, just go an try . It would be the best choice that you have in your life.

I had calamari which I nearly broke my tooth on. Worst I’ve even had. It was so overcooked I couldn’t put my fork in to cut it… it just shattered into 2. Absolutely no taste or texture to the actual calamari. Wasn’t served with lemon… I had to ask for some. Not offered so we asked for salt and pepper - none came so we went and got it ourselves. Then I had chicken and ham penne pasta which was nice but no offer of Parmesan or black pepper etc which I think is poor. Cleared 5 out of the 6 plates but forgot about the last one and left it there for another half hour. Not great. I am unlikely to return.

Just ordered a late night pizza. Not disappointed at all! It came fast and hot! Top notch!

Oh my word... How have we not been here before.... An absolute gem... Top service, friendly and attentive.. Pizzas are amazing.. Chips to die for... Darlo's finest! When can we book again!!!

We have walked past this place so many times and decided to give it a go. Just WOW, we absolutely loved the food and service. A hidden gem, that more people should know about. I was with my family of 7 and unanimously we all said we need to go back. Great value for money.

Accidentally discovered this place with two hungry toddlers on a Saturday evening. What a find! Excellent fresh authentic pizza made in front of you. Kids can roll out their own dough (nice touch). Nice staff and atmosphere. Reasonable prices compared to the outrageous causal dining chain restaurants. 100% will visit again.

Always lovely so long as you get the right table

Our favourite pizza place in town, food is always beautiful and the service is great too, thoroughly enjoy our date nights here :)

If I could give the service no stars I would!

Absolutely amazing place, staff are so friendly and helpful. Food is brilliant. Honestly, best pizza place we have ever been in. Puddings are also amazing xxx

Excellent little restaurant- fine freshly prepared pizza (with big choice of extras - esp’ anchovies !) fine and friendly waitress service. Will visit again for sure next time we are driving past Darlington on the way to Scotland Thank you Roger & Anne
